Techwright Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I am curious... I have never seen the TV show "Dark Angel", but was shown a clip with a gang with some pretty crazy cyber implants, not as outrageous as the Freaks, but enough to give me pause. Then I learn the show has an organization called "Manticore" and considering the show predates COH's release, well, my conspiracy theory went into overdrive. So is "Dark Angel" the inspiration for both Freaks and for Manticore's name? If so, did the show influence any other game elements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outrider_01 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Freaks is basically the equivalent to dystopia cyber punk, genre before even CoH or Dark Angel which influenced aspects of them. Manticore is just a mythical creature, popular cool sounding name and the character is just a rip off of Batman.

One of my favorite shows, and not just because Jessica Alba inadvertently helped a young Hexy start to realize some important things about herself... /em swoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
